Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of epomomycin intermediate synthesis technology, and in particular to a method for synthesizing a key epomomycin intermediate. Background Technology
[0002] The epochyrimycin family of natural products comprises a class of naturally occurring cytotoxic compounds with a 16-membered lactone ring as the central component. To date, six epochyrimycin derivatives have been reported, namely epochyrimycin AF. Epochyrimycin A and B were isolated from the South African soil myxobacterium Soce 90 by German natural product chemist Höfle et al. (Höfle, G.; Bedorf, N.; Steinmol, LH; Schomburg, D.; Gerth, K.; Reichenbach, H. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1996, 35, 1567-1569). Subsequently, epochyrimycin CF was isolated. In 1995, Bollag et al. discovered that the mechanism of action of this class of compounds is very similar to that of paclitaxel, namely, by inhibiting the depolymerization of tubulin, forming stable cellular microtubules, making it difficult for the spindle to form, thereby inhibiting the mitosis of cancer cells, arresting the tumor cell cycle in the G2 / M phase, inhibiting cell growth, and inducing tumor cell apoptosis (Bollag, DM; McQuenney PA; Zhu J. et al. Cancer Res. 1995, 55, 23-25). The chemical structure of the natural product epomycin AF is as follows:
[0003]
[0004] The structural formula shows that epochyrimycin is a 16-membered macrocyclic lactone compound composed of one oxygen atom and 15 carbon atoms, with a side chain containing a thiazole ring attached to the 15-C position. The main differences between epochyrimycin AF and epochycin B lie in the C12- substituent and the oxidation states of C12 and C13. Among these natural epochyrimycin products, epochyrimycin B is currently the most widely studied compound.
[0005] Cancer remains one of the major diseases threatening public health. Epomycin possesses broad-spectrum antitumor activity, exhibiting excellent half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) at nanomolar levels against human tumors such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer, with antitumor activity 10 to 1000 times stronger than paclitaxel. Furthermore, it surpasses paclitaxel in antitumor activity, safety, water solubility, and synthetic efficiency, and is internationally recognized as a highly promising antitumor drug even more effective than paclitaxel. Moreover, epopycin is not affected by cellular detoxification proteins, thus avoiding the drug resistance issues associated with paclitaxel-like drugs. More importantly, due to the significantly simpler chemical structure of epopycin compared to paclitaxel, it offers greater potential for chemical modification and optimization. Therefore, the chemical synthesis of epopycin and its analogues is highly feasible and possesses significant scientific and applied value. Consequently, epopycin is considered the most promising "post-paclitaxel" drug currently on the market, with a very broad market prospect.
[0006] In the more than two decades since its discovery, edromycin research has made significant progress. Epomycin B lactam derivatives are currently the most effective compounds discovered. On October 16, 2007, the first edromycin lactam derivative (a semi-synthetic analog of edromycin B), ixabepilone (Bristol-Myers Squibb), received FDA approval for marketing in the United States, alone or in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of metastatic or advanced breast cancer. Ixabepilone is a next-generation microtubule inhibitor developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb. It can be used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer resistant to anthracyclines and taxanes. Ixaspiron is the world's first epothilone-based antitumor drug, with antitumor activity 10-1000 times higher than that of the first-line anticancer drug paclitaxel (Cheng, Y.-H.; Chen, X.-H. World Clinical Drugs, 2011, 10, 619-623). The chemical structure of epothilone derivatives is as follows:
[0007]

[0098]
[0099] The Grignard reagent was prepared according to the modified Woerpel method: magnesium powder (340 mg, 14.2 mmol, 8.0 eq.) was placed in a flame-dried round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer and purged with dry THF (7.0 mL) under argon. A small piece of iodine and a few drops of a propylene chloride mixture were added. After stirring at room temperature for 5–10 minutes until the iodine color disappeared, the reaction mixture was cooled to 0 °C and diluted with dry THF (7.0 mL). A solution of 926 mg, 8.85 mmol, 5.0 eq. of propylene chloride was gradually added to dry tetrahydrofuran (8.9 mL) over 10 minutes, and stirring was continued at this temperature for 0.5 h. The reaction mixture was then heated to room temperature and stirred for 45 minutes. The resulting solution was dropwise through a sleeve into another flame-dried round-bottom flask containing 11 (1.09 g, 1.77 mmol) of dry tetrahydrofuran (8.5 mL). The mixture was maintained at -78 °C under argon until 11 was completely consumed (approximately 30 minutes). The reaction was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride solution (20 mL), and extracted with diethyl ether (20 mL × 2). The combined organic layers were washed with water (20 mL) and brine (20 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether / ethyl acetate = 50 / 1–20 / 1) to give a colorless oily compound 12 (1.04 g, 86%).
